When making an oreo buttercream, should I remove the cream filling before crushing the oreos

Most recipes dont specify what they mean by crushed oreos. Would I remove the filling before crushing and adding to my buttercream? I plan to make an oreo cake composed of three layers of devil's food cake separated by oreo buttercream, and covered on the outside with vanilla buttercream and chocolate glaze.

I've never removed the filling from oreos when I've used them in recipes. If they didn't have the filling, they'd just be run of the mill chocolate wafers, wouldn't they? I don't know if others feel differently.
